They thought it was a human, so hassled it to regurgitate...

If you look closely you can see the regurgitated animal isn't a hippo but actually a capibara. Worlds' largest rodent and indeed native to South America.

So, no faking, just a shame the snake had to give up its meal...

Good grief. That is huge. Pity it wasn`t Austin Stevens being coughed up.

It looks like a tapir to me, to longer snout for capibara.
